Seneca: ‘other vices affect our judgment, anger affects our sanity: others come in mild attacks and grow unnoticed, but men’s minds plunge abruptly into anger. … Its intensity is in no way regulated by its origin: for it rises to the greatest heights from the most trivial beginnings.’

“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

Yes, it is you, it's your fault, it's always your fault, it always will be your fault, and it never ends. Don't try and fight it... only makes it worse.

"The job of the newspaper is to make [the enemy] an 'it', rather than a 'thou'. " --Joseph Campbell
By making the enemy an "it" rather than a "thou", whether "it" be The Democrats, Liberals, Illegal Aliens, Communists, Muslims, people of other races than your own, whatever "it" may be, they are then dehumanized, and thus we can deny our kinship with them and engage in the illusion that our hatred and persecution of "it" is somehow justifiable.
Our world, and particularly our country is eaten up with this fallacy, that "The Russians" or "The Muslims" or whatever group, isn't really just like us. Human beings with the same needs, wants, and faults and flaws that we have. And the governments LOVE this.
It makes us so easy to manipulate.

"I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity. I didn't feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not - more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving."

An education is not how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It is being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you do not know.
